A new spin on the card game Golf.

Release History

v1.4 (27 Aug 2015):

• Fixed an issue where if a player went to the next round before the other player had gotten to the score screen then the game would get into an unrecoverable state.
• Fixed an issue where the client wouldn't recognize tied games.
• Improved the network utilization by only sending the seed of the game, rather than the whole state.

How to Build

The easiest way to build the project is to use IntelliJ IDEA with the included project files. If that is not an option you can also build it as follows:

cd 12Golf
mkdir out
find . -name "*.java" > sources.txt
javac -verbose `cat sources.txt` -d out
cd out
find . -name "*.class" > classes.txt
jar cfm Client.jar ../Client/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF `cat classes.txt`

You can build the server in the same way, but substituting the server manifest at: 12Golf/Server/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
